Hi Jdemuynck, If you can do Ethernet and iSCSI over this 10GB fibre channel, it might be possible for you to implement the idea. Will need at least 2 VLANs or different subnets routing to avoid mixing iSCSI and Sync traffic in same subnet. Delay 1ms should be fine for both, iSCSI and synchronization...

Yup, it is.

No performance drawbacks here and more reliable to me since you can treat these starwind virtual disk files like normal files.

Thanks!

I would add some shell input request for -host ecvpsql1bshr instead of hard coding but anyways, good job!

I have Cachecade It works. In write-back.

These servers are not highly loaded, though, just a small branch office with 10-15 virtual machines. Therefore, I didn't do any tests on them.

Sure thing, mate

Should you have any further questions, go ahead, i will gladly help

I believe, no one in the world will be capable of helping you without logs since there are millions of reasons why some software would crash and most of them are not starwind related. Try to reproduce the mentioned behavior and get the proper logs

To understand the basics of the product, you can use any Hyper-V related guide provided. If I understand things right, you have to install Starwind on your storage server and create a virtual standalone device, which then should be connected over iSCSI to your Hyper-V cluster nodes. After initializi...

Hi mate,

1) It's OK.
2) Sounds strange to me. I would leave it by default (4k).
3) 512 is a must for Xen, i assume, so it's OK.

Thanks for update!

Sure you can But not over iSCSI. SoFS with NFS is what you need.

It's quite simple. Preconfigure your new server like you would usually do (Windows, storage, networks, iscsi, multipathing and so on), then install starwind on it. Since your second server is still ok you can recreate your replication from it and get everything up and running. You may use this guide...

Since it's working on VMWare through virtualized NICs, I believe it should also work on XEN. I've been using Starwind with XEN a while ago as a dedicated storage since Starwind guys told me hyper-converged is not tested/supported. But such kind of test you are doing is very interesting to me, so ple...

Well, I have no possibility to test Azure speeds right now, however the results you shared are quite OK.
How are your SYNC/iSCSI networks configured? Bandwidth? Is it possible that network is bottlenecking your performance?

Looks like your license file is somehow broken or corrupted. Ensure that you've properly unzipped it (if it was archived) or just request a new one.

Could you please ensure that you are not trying to use 4k native HDD's? As another option try to create an LSFS device (thin provisioned) to see if it behaves differently.
